Full Description
Coordinators are an integral element of the clinical research team, and are essential to the efficient running of clinical trials. Yet, the input of coordinators is often unacknowledged and learning and training opportunities can be scarce. "Responsible Research: A Guide for Coordinators" provides a comprehensive resource for coordinators (both experienced and new), monitors, and other study site professionals. The book gives practical information on the many activities and responsibilities that are undertaken by the modern coordinator. The international authorship ensures that the content is relevant to the global body of research coordinators.
